Tale of the Genco Vanadium
$12.95 from E-bay.
I polished it with sandpaper and Flitz. 220 - 2500. 2-3 hours, cramps in my hands, but it turned out nice.
It honed like a charm. So easy. A tiny little bevel, barely visible. No microchipping, a beautiful polished edge. Not even enough hone weqr to say so, despite considerable loving time on the 1k making it sharp and even.
Shaving? What a shaver! Like butter! What a stinking pleasure to use.
I shaved with it 3 days straight, it stropped easy between shaves. I dried it carefully after the third shave, so pleased with my new tool.
Then.... I dropped it. right in the sink. Now it's garbage. I haven't dropped a razor in 10 years, but I wasn't really feeling well, out of sorts if you know what I mean. Crap.
End of my tragedy for the day. Time for some Wild Turkey.Don't get hung up on hanging hairs.
